Get the real ones from G werks.... personally I wouldnt touch replicas hence the reason why i bought the real ones   :wink:

The £300 a wheel price tag isnt that bad for a set of 19"s that look the dogs bollocks!!

There is an interesting article in this month's Evo about the differences between cast (I'm guessing most replicas are of this type), and forged alloy wheels.

For those of us who aren't going to rush to the newsagents to buy that mag for the article, what's the gist of it?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

It basically reinforces what most of us already know - that forged alloy wheels are far far stronger, and lighter than cast alloys.

I'll scan it on Monday and post it up.
